Victory Condition: Unity
In Civ II, to win by an Alpha Centauri victory you had to build the ship yourself, part by part. In SMAC the backstory is based on the U.N. nations building a single ship. Now Civ III's endgame story must be like the preface of the Alpha Centauri backstory. This leaves a gap bacause how does one nation "win" by helping to build the Unity? And after the Unity leaves does the world suddenly get very bad and everyone hates everyone and the war that ended all human life starts? Afterall we have to empty this rock for the end of SMAC.

I would have to suggest the complete opposite of that. You'll see what I mean when the next column comes out, I think.

How do you figure? I don't remember anyone from Firaxis saying that this would be the case.

-Diplomatically Unite World (Then send to Alpha C)
-Market Cornering
-Get elected world leader for 500 years
More Radical

Yes, there should definitely be "happy" victory endings and "less happy" ones, ex. all the science and diplomatic victory endings would lead to a utopian earth, but the conquest one should seem much more dark. Even a market cornering ending would have a neocolonialism feel, forcing everyone to buy from you

Well since they are aiming at a "Sweep of Time" wouldn't you think that Firaxis would like to link the games somehow?

Actually, I doubt that SMAC will have anything to do with Civ3 or its endgame. If it does, then I owe you a drink.

I have the same opinion, because Firaxis needs to add some "meat" to that "bone" they launched at us with that "Sweep of time" announce months ago!
better you prepare your money for give that drink to Christantine

SMAC IS based on Civ's endgame; in Civ II you build a spaceship to go to Alpha Centauri!-->Visit CGN!

Persoannly I like the idea of bringing world unity, like they are trying to do to Europe at the moment, this could make an interesting victory.
